Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the [city], every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

So they came and called unto the porter of the [city]: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.

And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the [city], we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this [city] which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the [city] which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
